TOM's Shoes: Go Barefoot, and DO. ONE. GOOD. DEED!

 

DO IT!

 
     Gonna be taking a barefoot blogging hiatus for a bit, as a major house redo project gets going, now that the NY weather is finally nice enough for outdoor house/yard work. It's also nice enough for bare feet, so let's leave you all with the current TOM's Shoe Co. charity activity, so you ALL can participate, and do good deeds with your happy bare feet!

MY stellar bare feetsies
are in the game!

     Every year, TOM's sponsors their, "One Day Without Shoes", campaign, in order to raise awareness about poor children around the world who can't even afford one pair of shoes. Normally, this entails people spending the day barefoot, if their lives/jobs permit it, and discussions of how to help those needy, impoverished kids. Well, TOM's took it a step further this year, and, for every photo of bare feet tagged with #withoutshoes, on Instagram (one entry per Instagram account), TOM's will donate a free pair of TOM's to a needy, underprivileged child! THAT is the definition of "putting you money where your mouth is (or, where your bare feet are)"! So, if you're on Instagram, get those shoes off, show those bare feet, and HELP THE POOR! It doesn't get any easier than this! Peace out, barefooters.. Keep those shoes out of sight, stay happy, and I love you all!

Craving Bare Feet Weather, and Pining for Summer 2015!

   

Bare feet, "hangin' around" on a boat!
I love how playful this is!

     
     If you live in the northeast, or northern central, USA, you know exactly what I'm talking about. This winter has been particularly brutal, and, after an especially crappy February (in which Boston almost set a new all-time record for snowfall), we are now, in mid-March, FINALLY starting to see some noticeable melting of the copious inches of ice, and dirty (no longer fluffy & pretty), snow! YES! You know what that means, right?! Bare feet weather & happy, sunny days aren't too far off now! Chin up, my, "shoes are overrated", friends! And don't forget to go get your pedis, if you need to! Hah, waaaaaaay too many are still suffering from "winter feet", so go visit your local pedi salon, and give 'em some love! 

Bare Feet as Art, and Kicking Off 2015!

Metaphor for a love of the simple things:
BARE FEET,  FEET UP,
RELAXATION, COFFEE!  :)

     Hello, Barefoot Nation! Hope everyone's New Year's Eve celebrations were fun and that, any resolutions that you made for 2015 end up being successful for you! ..And, of course, as always, keep flying that, "shoes are SO overrated", flag as much as you possibly can! Here's the latest in fantastic, "Bare feet as art", that I've come across on Instagram, or from other online sources... None of these are my photos, but, like most eye-catching pics, they are definitely worth sharing with the world..

Perfection in bare feet, with some of the nicest, cutest
feet that I've ever come across, in a gorgeous
clover setting for eye-popping contrast!

"Waiting for Laughter".. I love tickling bare feet,
and this is a beautiful, artistic capture
of that simple life pleasure that I love so much!

It's winter now.. So, hey, let's remind
 YOU of summer happiness!
Or your winter vacations to somewhere
warmer! :)
